Looks like my plane is a bust this year. No way I am going to have her ready. Man am I ever bummed out.

Looks like enough people are tired of their patched up lower cowls to look at a mass buy. Might save a bit that way per cowl....Leave a comment:

Bob,
I have a bunch of wing ribs but the shipping would be terrible from SE Virginia to AK. From reading your post do you need an actual rib or just a good drawing of it?

I have been playing with flight plans for the trip for a while. Couple of questions. Fuel stops? I have not put my wing tank back in commission (mainly because my bladder tends to fill faster than the main tank goes empty) and second, why fly to the east of Chicago over the lake? Going around the...Leave a comment:

I am trying to get there but have some engine work to do and don't know if I will make it in time. I would be leaving from the far SE corner of Virginia (Sufflolk VA KSFQ). Agree that a gaggle fo like performance planes would sure be nice. I have a 41 with a 65 HP Cont.
Which airport are you at?...Last edited by Hank Jarrett; 1 week ago.Leave a comment:

Would they accept a bore scope if you didn't want to cut them out? ;-)...Leave a comment:

I have several doors for post war planes but the problem is they are terrible to ship. I am in SE Virginia and the doors would have to be crated to survive transport. If someone is coming this way they are welcome to go through the pile but shipping would cost more than the door are worth.

Nice to see (read?) you here again. You have been missed. We do allow past T owners to be here you know, but hope you kept your tail dragger skills up to date. I have been flying a CessPool 172 a lot lately too. Feels like an F-350 truck with bad ball joints after the T but renting it is better...Leave a comment:

I brought the steps from the 45 home tonight and they are on the kitchen counter. It was in the mid to high 90s today and the hangar was almost warmed up enough to bake french fry's. Even with both sides open I could only spend about 15 minutes hunting for any extras. Makes me worry about the impact...Leave a comment:

Shoot some photos of the fuselage so we can figure out the year (SN would make that a snap). Also any wing parts? Really like to see the cowl.

Will be flying tomorrow and will look for an extra set. If I can't find any I will pull the ones on the 45 and make a sketch of them so you can weld up a set.

Left, right or both? I think I may have an extra set, and if not have the ones for my 45 that could be used to make new ones.Leave a comment:

I see what you were trying to say now. Not doing an actual weighing, but CALCULATING the change of empty CG and weight. YES, you would do the same if you pulled a wood prop and put a metal one on. EW would go up by the difference in weight and CG would move based on the weight difference and arm...Leave a comment:

Dave, sorry to disagree but the tail moment is measured from the datum to the POINT OF CONTACT where the weight is being measured. That is usually measured by dropping a plumb (while the aircraft is level) from the center of the axle to the horizontal plain under the aircraft. Likewise the moment...Leave a comment:

Agree with Tim. A good radiator shop will be able to steam clean it, probably remove any old sealant, repair any leaks (have them beef up the fuel outlet bung and drain areas while they are at it. It will be cheap and that is where you will get cracks). Also STRONGLY agree that you NOT tell them...Leave a comment:

NO, NO, NO, NO!!!! The metal prop DOES NOT change the acceptable CG range! It moves the CG forward but you still have to stay in the same CG range on the aircraft!Leave a comment:
